Thank you, Martina. This will work; and this is what I meant when saying that when user clicks on the button, he/she would have a choice of two items: preview or print.

>>I am working on a program that consists of a grid. That is it, the program is just one grid. In this grid the user will see all work orders assigned to him/her. One of the columns of the grid will allow the user to print any of the work orders in the grid.
>>But sometimes, a user does not want to print but simply a view the order; in a report preview format. And the key is that I don't want to have two button - that is to take two columns - one for print, one for preview. In my initial test, I do the preview by using the doPDF driver installed on my PC. So, by choosing this driver, I can view without printing. But I do not want to "force" the customer to install a doPDF or some other driver that allows to convert a print to a PDF.

>>I can add a small menu, when user clicks on this button that will ask if user want to Print or Preview.

>>So, my question, how else would you suggest having both Print and/or Preview in one button of the grid?

>>TIA
